COMBINATION-TOOL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 16, 1912.

Application filed November 30, 1909. Serial No. 530,613.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WAYNE JACKSON and VILLIAM E. F RY, citizens of theUnited States, bot-h residing at Paola, in the county of Miami and Stateof Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCombination-Tools, of which the following .is a specification.

The object of this invention is the improved construction of acombination tool the parts of which may be projected or retracted one ata time so that the device is capable of a large number of uses, whichwill make it a handy article while at the same time it will not beunnecessarily bulky and will be so arranged that-the parts can beeasilymanufactured and readily assembled;

With these and other objects in view as will more fully appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions,arrangements and combinations of the parts that we shall hereinafterfully describe and claim.

For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to thefollowing description and accompanying drawings in which: I

Figure 1 1s a perspective view of a comblIlZl-tlOIl'tOOl embodying theimprovements of our invention; Fig. 2 is a similar view with a partbroken away, and other parts shown in partially extended position; Fig.3 is a side elevation with one of the side members removed, and therivets in transverse section; Fig. 4: is a: detail view showing themanner of locking the movable members in open position; Fig. 5 is ahorizontal longitudinal section; and, Fig. 6 is a transverse SectionalView on the line (i-6 of Fig.8.

' Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and indi.- cated in all the views of the accompanyingdrawings by the same reference characters.

The handle of our improved combination tool embodies side pieces 1 whichmay be of any desired size and design and constructed of any desiredsubstance or material, the same being held in spaced relation to eachother by transverse rivets 15 or the like passing through them at theirends. The handle also embodies a middle partition plate 2 through whichthe attaching rivets 15 also extend, said plate forming, in connectionwith other parts, chambers 0e slots for the reception of some of theblades or implements which are embodied in the device. One of theseimplements is a blade 3 which is hinged at one end in one of saidchambers to be retracted therein or swung out into an extended andoperative position.

This blade is designed to form a chisel,

and may also serve as a rule, one face thereof being graduated linearlyas indicated at 4:. In order to hold the blade 3 in an operativeposition, a spring '5 is secured between one of the side pieces 1 andthe plate 2, said spring extending the entire length of the handle asshown and being formed at its free end contiguous to the butt of theblade 3 with a lug 5 designated to snap over a shoulder 6 formed on saidbutt. The spring 5 is formed with a protuberance 7 constituting a fingerpiece and by depressing this finger piece, the free end of the springwill be forced outwardly and eifect the release of the lug 5" from theshoulder 6 thereby permitting the blade 3 to be swung back into aretracted position. Between the other side pieces 1 and. the plate 2another blade 8 is mounted. This blade is designed for use as a puttyknife and is formed. with a shoulder 9 like the shoulder 6 designed toengage-a lug 6 on another spring 10 similar to the spring 5 and pro-.

vided with a push lug 7'. The springs 5 and 10 are supported by a singlerivet 16, and are integral with filler blocks 17-18 between the centralmember 2 and the side members 1, the rivets 15 extending through thefive parts, as shown.

One of the side pieces 1 is formed with a longitudinally extendingopening 12 which may extend entirely therethrough as shown, and a tackpuller or spike 11 which is pivoted at one end in said opening .so thatit may be retracted therein or swung out laterally into an operativeposition; corre-' spondingly the other side piece is formed with anopening 12 in which a bucket hook 1b is pivotally mounted to swinglaterally out from the handle. The plate 2 is extended at one end of thehandle as shown whereby to produce a screw driver as indicated at 1%.

From the foregoing description in con nection wi hthe accompanyingdrawing, it will be seen that we have provided a very simple combinationtool the various parts of which render the device susceptible fordiversified uses.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

An implement of the class described including a side member and'apartition plate, a spring between the side member and the partitionplate and rigidly secured at one end thereto and provided with a stoplug at the other end, a rivet extending throngh the partition plate thespring and connecting it intermediate its ends to said side andpartition plate, said spring being further provided with a thumb lugprojecting beyond the side member and and between the supporting rivetsand the stationary end of the spring for forcing the intermediate partof 15 the spring inwardly and thereby outwardly ilefiecting the endwhich carries the stop v In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures inpresence of two witnesses.
